» Posted By foodchain On February 19, 2012 @ 4:19 pm Weekend Music Thread – Baby, Baby For Whitney of course: “I will always love you” And for it’s day? Simon and Garfunkle, “Cecilia”–power to the women!! » Posted By foodchain On February 12, 2012 @ 7:00 am KT Hhahahahahaha! Great stuff. » Posted By foodchain On February 12, 2012 @ 6:21 am I know; I think we should print them and distribute. It’s a good strategy. I’ll get one for myself; it’s a start » Posted By foodchain On February 10, 2012 @ 5:08 pm Morning Cher; I’m pretty sure that’s a fox hiding in that pack of dogs 🙂 And, what fun to hear about Bachus, that little pin head! The charts are great–I love Obama’s charts and they show well against every GOP chart Work calls-arrgghh » Posted By foodchain On February 10, 2012 @ 7:23 am Hey Cher. I’m really pleased that DePaul University is, as the largest Catholic University, providing contraception options in their health care. As a Chicagoan, it makes me proud. I am reminded of the strength (I am not affiliated with organized religion) of Notre Dame University in asking the new President Obama to address abortion on their stage. It was simply amazing–and too soon forgotten. Your clip helped me remember. The University was very brave in front of campus protests and showed that they value discussions and sharing thoughts over denial of opposing views. And our President, wow, what a brave speech to give. » Posted By foodchain On February 9, 2012 @ 3:20 pm Chioice, so right on. I can’t begin to say how much I appreciate and could never come close to doing what you do, Cher. And what great people here to see what you do. » Posted By foodchain On February 8, 2012 @ 6:04 pm Thanks KQ. It’s one of my favorites. » Posted By foodchain On February 7, 2012 @ 5:02 pm Cher, I know: I dug this up out of my old “sent file”. I LOVE this. I thougt it sad that it wasn’t animated! 🙂 » Posted By foodchain On February 7, 2012 @ 5:01 pm Thanks AdLib. This is one of my favorite “circular arguments” To your many points: Fox News has so disinformed their common folks; the southern strategy is in play all the time; education is a negative concept in their lives; religion is a tool of conflict (oh surprise). Rove said what he did to pull Eastwood out as a conservative republican–which he did–but did not expect Clint to say We have become so polarized that, if we didn’t have the whole middle east and China and everyone to worry about, we could easily have a Civil War. My feeling on Lincoln’s brilliance is not necessarily supportive of him. » Posted By foodchain On February 7, 2012 @ 5:00 pm My first comment after assorted news today is this. Once we are finished with dinner, I hope to have more. (and I hope the image translates) » Posted By foodchain On February 7, 2012 @ 3:48 pm Weekend Music Thread – SoulTrain LFer, what great music! time in the car–It was way cooler than the white stations. » Posted By foodchain On February 5, 2012 @ 4:14 pm Hi KT, great idea and a lot of favorites here. Here’s a few more. I can’t say best or more best but I’ve saved ELton and Al, Soul Train and Soul School. dobie Gray ” Drift Away” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaPnOASOWIU Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPGoNv_mCC0 Gladys Night (at Chicago’s SouthSide!) “Midnight Train to Georgia” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pHhItkhc7o She’s too early but I do love her–Dionne Warwick, “Walk on By” GO FIGURE THE WHITE GUY: Elton John performing on SOUL TRAIN. “Benny and the Jets, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxeBccvWDRQ AND Al Green, “I’m So Tired of Being Alone” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICKToz7BLLA I always like and look at Weekend Music. Always a great memory or education! » Posted By foodchain On February 5, 2012 @ 4:08 pm LIVE BLOG: Florida GOP Primary 2012 or “Can $16 Million in Negative Ads Buy an Election?” The fellow running McCain’s campaign said it will absolutely be worse—a blood bath » Posted By foodchain On January 31, 2012 @ 5:39 pm mitt has to be nasty to show he can’t be put on his heels but more importantly, to tap into the angry voter because they vote » Posted By foodchain On January 31, 2012 @ 5:33 pm money has always has the floor unless the masses really organize but there is a saturation point where “absorbers” stop absorbing. What scares me is a Las Vegas casino guy with strong ties to Isreal buying a candidate. And it could be someone else obviously but a special interest backer is troublesome especially as it influences foreign policy: this is exactly what the founders were hoping to avoid » Posted By foodchain On January 31, 2012 @ 5:29 pm heard today that Frank Luntz, the GOP “wordsmith”‘has told GOP spokespersons to not use the word CAPITALISM as it was not a favorable concept. That kinda takes Mitt’s background and makes it kaka. I don’t think “self-deportation” works as a talking point either. The Citizen’s United is showing itself to be our worst fears in record time: I would wonder that a few of those judges might be regretting their vote. As for Newt? you could put a lot of money with him or against him, but the guy is so self-everything that his peaks and valleys are self- created. And the democrats won’t be short of money so the advantage the GOP will have is lying, cheating, scaring as usual. » Posted By foodchain On January 31, 2012 @ 5:15 pm LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate in FL on NBC – 1-23-12 I don’t have the link but their is data that the conservatives have a chemical reaction to fear that liberal don’t; it’s visceral, which simply makes them less evolved, but they like the dark aes » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 7:04 pm Big boys are so afraid of RED: too bad they picked red as their color! They are so bad at foreign policy, leaving the cold war behind and any sense of sovereignty. I can see why the kids like Paul » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:57 pm not liking any of these candidates, but I do want to strategize on who should win. newt can mobilize a lot of anti-government votes; Mitt can get the GOP elected power base as well as the moderate vote. this is about Obama winning. » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:45 pm yeah, no kidding! » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:35 pm I agree Murph. Newt is not on his heels but more info is coming out about Newt’s “splainin” about his past » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:29 pm I thought Mitt was going after the zero tax for wealthy investors bit let it go » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:26 pm Choice, LOL! Bristol and Newt; I’d pay to see that. I never watch but I did watch Tom DeLay— smarmy » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:20 pm mitt has professional mussing so that e looks “natural” » Posted By foodchain On January 23, 2012 @ 6:13 pm LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate at 5:00 PM PST in SC – 1/19 Agreed Choice » Posted By foodchain On January 19, 2012 @ 5:51 pm Family values or some derivitive » Posted By foodchain On January 19, 2012 @ 5:49 pm “Yeah, That’s the GOP Ticket!” – Can Romney Lie His Way Into the White House? Sounds pretty much like our highly advanced GOP political process 🙂 although it seems they use bigger words in Nigeria. “Wealthy fraudsters are given chieftaincy titles and venerated, and their nefarious deeds are euphemistically tagged venial.” » Posted By foodchain On January 19, 2012 @ 1:33 pm we must have other shaft gaps as well. Or maybe we have too many shafts » Posted By foodchain On January 19, 2012 @ 12:12 pm KQ, But impeaching a president for a peccadilloe is not a peccadilloe. Nor is shutting down the government. Demanding first row seating on Air Force One did seem peevish though. But at least he didn’t have to be put in his place like Juan Williams was by another kind and thoughtful SC GOP. » Posted By foodchain On January 19, 2012 @ 12:08 pmComments Posted By foodchain
In my lap like a child.
You’d cling to me smilin’
Your eyes wide and wild.
Now you slip through my arms,
Wave a passing hello.
Twist away and toss a kiss
Laughin’ as you go.
And, “Sing me songs of love.”
For you were Princess Paradise
On the wings of a dove.
Now I chase you and I tease you
Tryin’ to remake you my own,
You just turn away and say,
“Please leave me alone.”
All hangin’ in your strings.
I’m a butterfly in a spider’s web
Fluttering my wings.
And the more that I keep dancin’
And spinning ’round in knots
The more I see what used to be
And the less of you I’ve got.
And rinses and things.
You keep changing your moods,
Like your earrings and rings.
But tonight while we played tag
For five minutes in the yard,
Just for a moment I caught you off-guard.
All hangin’ in your strings.
I’m a butterfly in a spider’s web
Fluttering my wings.
And the more that I keep dancing
And spinning ’round in knots,
The more I see what used to be
And the less of you I’ve got.
In a room just for your dreams.
You don’t find time to talk to me
About the things you mean,
Hey AdLib and all others! I love this theme and the photo. I will keep the image of time as waves to the shores (in good and bad, calm and stormy); lately it’s felt like a freight train! Water is better. Harry Chapin has a special place in our family’s heart. Here is his tribute to his daughter: “Tangled Up Butterfly”. Lyrics for quick read and video follows:
And what I mean is–
From a jumble of parts
And find the grace and form
Of a fine work of art.
Hey, you, my brand new woman
Newly come into your own,
Don’t you know
That you don’t need
To grow up all alone

Secondly, I think it could be a very good idea if a lot of Democrats put GOP for Obama bumper stickers on our cars. Trick the timid Republicans into joining the good fight.
anyone can use this commercial as they see fit. I’m guessing Rove didn’t expect the permission. Hahaha.
